We're still 2 months away from the launch date, so it's too early to publish any pricing. Today FMCOMMS3 sells for $750. The PicoZed SDR SOM will likely cost more than the FMCOMMSx modules since it integrates the Zynq Z7035, memory, interfaces, and power management in a small SOM.

I missed that! 7035 vs the 7020 that I'm working with in the microZed.
I expect a little bit of a price difference, but not as expensive as an E310 (with their enclosure, GPS, different memory, and whatnot), despite the PicoZedSDR having the 7035.

I'm currently deciding on the components for an experimental MIMO SDR system that will start at 4x4 and eventually grow to 8x8 and 16x16 in size. Does this SDR have 10MHz reference and synchronization inputs/outputs? I was just about to order a few Ettus B210's but really like this SDR's larger/newer FPGA compared to the B210's use of a Spartan6.

Hi JH,
PicoZed SDR provides an on-board 40MHz crystal and an external clocking option for the AD9361 by using an analog multiplexor (ADG772). If an external oscillator is used, the frequency can vary between 10 MHz and 80 MHz. The selection between the two clock sources is under control of a Zynq PL pin in Bank 34 (K11).
The external clock signal is provided by a custom carrier board through the micro headers on the bottom of the SOM. As such, the same clock can be routed to the Zynq device if syncrhonization between BBP and RF devices is required.
